Abstract

In 1887, the Papermill Mecenate settled at the Sanctuary of Hercules the Victor in Tivoli, thanks to the construction of the Canevari Canal. The papermill represented, for decades, the largest industrial plant placed on the former religious site, which had already housed various manufacturing functions. The phases of greatest overlap occurred in the 1930s and 1950s by engineer Emo Salvati, who designed many reinforced concrete structures. In 1938, he and Marco Segrè, the factory owner, approached Gino Covre to make lightweight metal roofing. Arrived in Rome in 1935, Covre was already working steadily with the Antonio Badoni firm in Lecco. In Rome, he registered many patents, including the one for “Vaulted arch, composed or constituted with frame elements” (1936). The paper presents the historical-constructional investigation, supported by digital information modeling, of two unpublished applications made by Covre that were lost in the late 20th century. Covre’s Rome period is under-explored, and the case study raises important questions about those early years. The loss of vaults gives greater emphasis to existing traces-photographic, documentary-that can provide insights into the lost built object. Gino Covre’s experimentation in the autarkic phase with metal structures by means of a significantly reduced use of material appears to be an exceptional issue, and the application of Tivoli tests the system later used at the Palace of Congress at E42 designed by Adalberto Libera.
蒂沃利梅塞纳特造纸厂的自给自足的金属屋顶:Gino Covre专利的一个看不见的应用
1887年,由于修建了卡内瓦里运河,造纸厂梅塞纳特人在蒂沃利的大力神圣所定居下来。几十年来,造纸厂一直是这个前宗教遗址上最大的工业工厂,这里已经容纳了各种制造功能。最大的重叠阶段发生在20世纪30年代和50年代,由工程师Emo Salvati设计,他设计了许多钢筋混凝土结构。1938年,他和工厂老板Marco Segrè找到Gino Covre制作轻质金属屋顶。1935年来到罗马时,柯福尔已经在莱科的安东尼奥·巴多尼公司稳定地工作。在罗马,他注册了许多专利,包括“由框架元素组成或构成的拱形拱门”(1936年)。本文介绍了在数字信息模型的支持下,对Covre在20世纪末丢失的两份未发表的申请进行的历史建构调查。科弗尔的罗马时期还没有得到充分的研究,这个案例研究提出了关于早期的重要问题。拱顶的消失使人们更加重视现有的痕迹——照片、文献——它们可以让人们深入了解消失的建筑。Gino Covre在自给阶段的金属结构实验,通过显著减少材料的使用,似乎是一个特殊的问题,Tivoli的应用测试了后来由Adalberto Libera设计的E42国会宫使用的系统。
